About Me
I am a largely self taught artist who has been exhibiting and selling my art since 2016. For many years I did this along side my day job as a lawyer but I am now a full time artist based in Henley-on-Thames. I have been teaching children art since September 2022.I specialise in oil painting and most of my painting is done with oil paints. Many people are frightened of using oil paints. In these classes I will introduce you to oil paints and teach you how to use them to overcome these fears.
You will learn techniques and tips to improve you skill level and learn how to compose and paints landscapes and still life paintings.

MENTORING IN ARTS : Discover how to say something through your artistic work.
I am a visual artist born in Barcelona, settled in Belgium since 2017. As an artist I have accumulated experience for the last 25 years. I am graduated with an Academic Bachelor in Fine Arts in the University of Barcelona and graduated as a Master in Visual Arts at Sint Lucas School of Arts in Antwerpen.
I am specialised in painting, drawing, experimental films, installations, language, sound and curating. In other words, I am a multidisciplinary artist.
I understand the artistic practice as a way to understand ourselves and the situations which surrounds us. In my classes I don't teach how to do Art, but as how to say something through your artistic work. With me you can work independently, with a coach who will challenge you with some assignments and giving feedback to your personal concerns.
In addition, you will learn how to work with several mediums, preparing your own material: paintings, canvases, and so on.
You will not only receive individual coaching but as encourage you to look other artists or take into account other references connected with your concerns.
Finding, discussing and retaking solutions together are the core of my classes.

Vocal technique for modern singing enthusiasts
Vocal technique is a fundamental pillar in the instrumental performance of the voice, since with it we are able to generate a cleaner sound in a HEALTHY way. Therefore; in this class the objective will be to learn to sing without much effort to avoid injuries to our instrument. We will do it through exercises adapted to the virtues and deficiencies of each student, and then we will work on repertoire according to the difficulty, taste and/or objective of each one. In this class you will also improve rhythm, tuning, dynamics and musicality.

Hi! I am passionate about teaching and encouraging my students to tap into their own unique potential. I can help provide technical training with painting being my speciality in acrylics, oils, watercolour, gouache and ink.
I believe the most fulfilling experiences with making art comes from an innate place of joy, playfulness and experimenting. I can provide a calm, relaxed and encouraging environment, allowing you to explore and hone in on skills you didn't realise you had or maybe to work on skills you already know you like, but want to get better at.
I am a practicing artist who has exhibited internationally and have worked for artists for over 7 years so I have vast knowledge on contemporary art and the art world. So whether it is institutions you wish to work with, sell work or to just make work, I will be able to share my experiences and insight with you.
